INTRODUCTION. 


No  people  in  the  world  can  have  so  great  an  interest  in  the  history  of 
their  country,  as  that  of  the  U.  S.  of  North  America  :  for  there  are 
none  who  enjoy  an  equally  great  share  in  their  country's  historical 
acts.  And  who  would  not  love  his  offspring,  who  remain  indifferent 
even  to  the  smallest  incidents  affecting  them  ?  There  is  also  no 
country  in  the  world  whose  history  ought  to  be  of  higher  interest  to 
its  citizens,  than  the  United  States,  as  their  history  contains  treasures 
of  experience  in  politics,  as  novel  in  the  old  as  in  the  new  world. 
It  contains  the  annals  of  a  new  era  in  the  political  and  moral  history 
of  mankind,  and  points  out  the  way  to  that  height  of  perfection, 
which  a  free  nation  ought  continually  to  strive  to  attain,  and  which 
must  be,  therefore,  pre-eminently  desirable  to  the  citizens  of  the 
United  States.  For  they  have  entirely  excluded  from  their  system 
of  government  the  antiquated  principle  of  prescriptive  rights,  and 
have  adopted  in  its  stead  the  people's  right  to  govern  themselves;  in 
politics  they  can  therefore  claim  no  longer  the  privilege  and  benefit 
of  minors,  having  by  an  act  of  their  own  declared  themselves  of  full 
age,  to  act  independently  and  to  follow  their  own  course,  spurning  all 
foreign  interference  in  matters  of  their  own  cognizance  as  intolera- 
ble to  men  who  feel  their  worth.  In  whatever  wrong  they  do,  there- 
fore,  they  have  themselves  to  blame,  not  being  allowed  the  privi- 
lege of  laying  it  at  the  door  of  any  hereditary  rulers,  who  might 
occasionally  be  made  to  expiate  with  their  lives  the  imbecility  of  the 
past  and  the  consequently  necessary  degradation  of  the  present 
generation.  Allowing  at  the  same  time  the  fullest  share  of 
human  rights  to  every  one  of  their  white  fellow  citizens,  and  realiz- 
ing self-government  on  the  most  extensive  scale  known,  it  is  quite 
natural  that  in  the  United  States  more  than  anywhere  else,  citizens 
should  only  be  willing  to  yield  to  necessity,  whether  it  be  a  material 
or  a  moral  one ;  and,  as  necessity  is  not  acknowledged  as  such  until 
after  experience,  very  often  dearly  bought,  history,   as  the  treasury 


viii 


of  experience,  should  bear  a  far  higher  value  with  the  sovereign 
citizens  of  a  free  State  than  with  the  subjects  of  a  monarchy,  who, 
having  conceded  to  hereditary  rulers  the  monopoly  of  those  acts 
which  constitute  history,  must  pay  a  rather  high  price  for  the  idle 
position  of  humble  spectators  to  those  acts,  without  even  retaining  the 
consoling  liberty  of  demonstrating  their  displeasure. 

But,  though  the  history  of  the  United  States  must  be  of  the  greatest 
interest  to  their  own  citizens,  that  which  Europeans  may  attach  to  it 
from  another  point  of  view,  cannot  be  much  inferior  to  their  own. 

It  has  of  late  been  shown  most  clearly,  by  De  Tocqueville  and 
other  French  political  writers,  that  Democracy  is  the  great  end  to 
which  all  enlightened  nations  aim,  and  to  which  they  are  led  even 
unconsciously  by  every  incident  of  historical  importance.  The  best 
evidence  of  this  assertion  is  the  very  form  of  government„bv^  the 
adoption  of  which  the  subjects  of  monarchies  have  striven  to  attain, 
so  far  as  this  may  be  compatible  with  good  order,  the  highest  degree 
of  liberty,  the  so  called  Constitutional  Monarchy.  This  mixture  of  the 
two  elements  of  Democracy  and  Monarchy,  which  must  for  ever  be 
diametrically  opposed  to  each  other,  is  upon  the  whole  nothing  but 
an  attempt  to  render  change  from  the  one  form  to  the  other  easier 
and  more  decent,  confining  a  mortal  conflict  within  such  limits  as  to 
make  it  harmless  to  the  material  interests  of  the  people,  and  annihilat- 
ing the  one  of  these  elements  under  proper  form  and  by  a  legal 
proceeding,  instead  of  using  violence,  which  even  in  the  case  of 
self-defence  might  prove  troublesome  or  afford  a  bad  political  pre- 
cedent. 

I  will  not  decide  upon  the  question,  whether  in  a  conflict  between  an 
evident  and  undeniable  right,  and  a  mere  legal  presumption,  the 
strength  of  the  former  would  finally  destroy  the  latter  or  not  j  but  the 
victory  of  democracy,  which  becomes  from  day  to  day  more  probable 
and  unavoidable,  must  certainly  turn  the  attention  of  every  foreigner 
to  the  rise  and  progress  of  the  United  States  ;  to  the  history  of  a 
country  where,  in  a  magic  mirror,  as  it  were,  one  may  behold  the 
future  state  of  different  European  nations,  and  learn  equally  to  avoid 
precipitation  and  sluggishness  in  adopting  a  form  of  government 
which,  so  far,  seems  best  to  answer  the  intentions  of  our  Creator  in 
making  men  moral,  and  consequently  self-governing  beings. 

In  fact,  there  is  no  foreign  traveller  of  sound  intellect,  who,  having 
visited  the  United  States,  will  not  acknowledge  that  by  his  visit  he 
has  learned  as  much,  nay  far  more,  with  regard  to  gaining  a  right 


ix 

view  of  European  affairs,  as  to  acquiring  a  correct  one  of  those  of 
the  United  States  ;  and  this  acknowledgment  will  easily  be  believed 
to  be  true,  when  we  consider  that  until  very  late  nearly  every  for- 
eigner who  visited  the  United  States  seems  to  have  considered  it  his 
especial  duty  not  to  withhold  from  his  contemporaries  whatever  ad- 
ventures he  may  have  had,  however  trifling,  or  any  opinions  he  may 
have  formed  upon  the  country,  whether  more  or  less  pertinent.  For 
it  is  an  easy  matter  in  reading  with  due  discrimination  the  numerous 
host  of  works  on  the  United  States,  to  gather  particular  and  similar 
views  of  the  exterior  of  nearly  every  object  in  this  country,  and  from 
the  extensive  knowledge  which  the  dearth  of  political  life  favors  so 
particularly  in  several  parts  of  Europe,  it  is  more  than  probable  that 
a  well  instructed  European  may  have  as  accurate  a  knowledge  of 
those  objects  as  he  has  of  Egyptian  kings,  Roman  emperors,  or  others 
with  whose  names  he  may  have  burthened  his  memory. 

But,  however  well  prepared  he  may  come  to  the  United  States, 
and  even  though  he  should  know  all  the  details  of  their  institutions, 
he  must  be  ignorant  of  their  animating  force,  of  the  strong  self-gov- 
erning individuality  of  American  citizens,  the  real  spirit  of  American 
political  life,  and  of  the  practical,  easy,  well-tempered  use  of  liberty, 
because  there  is  nowhere  abroad  an  opportunity  for  becoming  ac- 
quainted with  them.  Yet  without  a  thorough  acquaintance  with  this 
strong  republican  spirit,  and  without  a  knowledge  of  the  foundations 
of  self-government,  the  freest  institutions  appear  but  as  a  dead  let- 
ter, sovereignty  of  the  people  as  a  chimera,  capacity  for  reasoning 
in  a  majority  as  inconceivable,  and  democracy  itself  as  a  farce,  fit 
only  to  enslave  mankind  still  more,  and  to  serve  ever  afterwards  as 
a  warning  against  any  future  democratic  fancies. 

Every  well-bred  man  may  at  present  easily  understand  the  purity 
and  charming  simplicity  of  American  social  life  ;  but  to  gain  an 
insight  into  the  vital  elements  of  American  liberty  is  not  by  any 
means  so  easy  for  a  foreigner  as  it  might  at  first  appear.  Whoever 
is  incapable,  on  coming  to  this  country,  of  signing  for  himself  a  mental 
declaration  of  independence,  whoever  does  not  feel  himself  fit  to  be- 
come a  freeman  instead  of  a  mere  creature  of  circumstances,  by 
throwing  off  the  eye-flaps  of  aristocratic  prejudices,  and  changing 
the  effeminating  eiderdown  of  mere  liberalism,  for  the  harder  but 
invigorating  garb  of  freedom,  will  never  understand  public  life  as  it- 
is  in  the  United  States,  and  will  never  succeed  in  decyphering  the 


glowing  hieroglyphics  in  which  true  democracy  daily  records  the 
verdict  of  all  who  hope  perhaps  to  brave  it  for  ever. 

The  intellectual  barrenness  of  such  travellers,  who  were  incapa- 
ble of  rising  above  the  horizon  of  the  minor  miseries  of  social  life, 
has  caused  them  often  to  revenge  themselves  on  the  country,  and  on 
its  inhabitants,  by  giving  accounts  which  were  unfriendly  and  depre- 
ciating, or  even  contemptuous,  but  which,  in  fact,  by  the  conspicuous 
inanity  they  displayed,  were  speedily  recognized  to  be  but  the 
true  pictures  of  the  fruitless  efforts  of  their  writers  to  rid  themselves 
of  their  own  self- weariness,  by  travelling  in  foreign  countries.  For 
more  than  thirty  years  European  literature  concerning  the  United 
States,  was  overwhelmed  with  such  vapidness.  The  times,  however 
are  happily  now  over,  when  too  great  haste  in  dining,  chewing  to- 
bacco, and  the  want  of  comfort  on  a  road  in  the  backwoods,  become 
the  scale  for  the  judgment  of  reviewers  ;  and  after  De  Tocqueville, 
Chevalier  and  Von  Raumer,  the  reiteration  of  such  perfect  trash  is 
hardly  to  be  apprehended. 

The  unparalleled  success  of  the  democracy  of  the  United  States  in 
every  kind  of  well-being  and  of  internal  improvements  within  less  than 
three  quartersof  a  century,  equalled. by  nothing  which  is  to  be  met  with 
in  either  ancient  or  modern  history  of  any  known  part  of  our  globe  ; 
the  happiest  combination  of  civil  and  religious  liberty,  together  with 
full  security  of  property  and  person,  even  in  the  most  critical  periods 
of  general  distress ;  the  high  spirited  and  manly  courage  with  which 
a  free  nation  preserved  justice  and  unlimited  publicity  as  the  guardi- 
ans of  their  constitutional  rights,  could  not  but  rouse  Europeans  to 
the  most  serious  reflections — reflections  that  were  of  the  deepest  po- 
litical interest,  and  rendered  still  more  important  by  the  constantly  in- 
creasing emigration  to  the  United  States. 

From  that  time  mere  descriptions  of  men,  manners,  &c,  in  Ame- 
rica were  found  to  be  unsatisfactory  ;  higher  topics  had  to  be  chosen  ; 
and  the  history,  political  institutions,  position  and  probable  destiny  of 
the  Republican  Government  in  the  United  States,  and  of  democratic 
elements  in  general,  became  the  almost  universal  subjects  for  study. 
De  Tocqueville  showed  how  far  American  liberty  was  compatible  with 
European  theories,  and  became  convinced  that  the  United  States 
formed  the  best  point  from  which  to  take  a  correct  view  of  the  politi- 
cal position,  and  the  destiny  of  Europe.  Although  a  rather  ominous 
one,  this  conviction  will  certainly  be  shared  by  every  foreigner 
who  may  become  acquainted  with  the  principles  of  Democracy  in 


xi 


the  United  States.  This  at  the  same  time  led  to  other  truths,  as — that 
a  nation  never  possesses  more  liberty  than  it  deserves,  and  that  those 
nations  which  suffer  too  much  in  bearing  their  liberty,  may  find  re- 
lief in  a  Csesarean  section  ;  and  thus,  instead  of  puling  liberalism,  that 
'jmbryo  of  liberty,  which  proves  incapable  of  disengaging  itself  from 
mother  theory,  and  is  confined  therefore  to  timid  sympathy  with  fo- 
reign freedom,  and  to  an  idle  longing  for  the  Christmas-box  of  its 
own,  a  healthy  and  well-shaped  offspring  may  be  ushered  into  the 
world — real  liberty. 

There  is  really  no  country  in  the  world  which  could  deny  the  high 
political  station,  to  which,  in  the  course  of  a  comparatively  short  time 
democracy  has  raised  the  United  States ;  and  the  fear  with  which 
some  foreign  powers  look  upon  its  rapid  progress,  and  upon  the  prog- 
nostics which  this  progress  holds  out  to  their  existence,  might  appear 
ridiculous,  if  it  were  not  unhappily  but  too  often  accompanied  by  so 
many  most  serious  consequences  for  individuals  as  well  as  for  whole 
families.  In  some  parts  of  Europe,  indeed,  they  look  upon  the  demo- 
cratic system,  which  in  the  United  States  is  carried  out  with  so 
great  sucess,  with  the  same  horror  as  one  would  upon  an  avalanche, 
which  was  threatening  to  bury  under  its  huge  mass  everything  which 
comes  in  the  way  of  its  headlong  course.  And  as  in  the  Alps  all 
noise  is  carefully  avoided,  lest  some  loose  avalanche  might  roll  down, 
they  would  like  to  stop  all  intercourse  of  their  subjects  with  the  Uni- 
ted States,  whether  by  letters  or  newspapers,  an  attempt  which,  we 
trust,  will  turn  out  to  no  better  purpose  than  that  of  a  man  who 
thinks  to  pass  dry  under  the  Falls  of  Niagara,  because  sheltered  by 
an  umbrella.  Strange  fascination !  not  to  conceive  that  these  very 
measures  are  betraying  a  decay  but  too  ripe  for  dissolution,  a  total 
exhaustion  of  vital  power,  the  surest  symptom  of  near  and  unavoid- 
able destruction.  Strange  fatality,  that  there  are  hereditary  mon- 
archies, who,  with  all  their  dazzling  court-pageantry,  titles,  orders, 
large  standing  armies,  and  hosts  of  censors,  police-officers,  and 
other  hierarchy  of  office-holders,  should  feel  themselves  too  weak  to 
withstand  the  moral  power  of  an  American  newspaper,  nay,  even 
the  simple  truth,  which  they  fear  the  humble  letters  of  their  emi- 
grated subjects  may  contain  when  coming  from  this  side  of  the  At- 
lantic !  A  proof  how  inadequate  are  all  their  enslaving  institutions, 
kept  up  at  such  immense  expense,  for  overcoming  the  terror  which 
every  democratic  idea  strikes  into  them ;  that  they  must  cowardly 
hide  themselves  from  the  humblest  truth,  whilst  the  fullest  glare  of 


XII 

unrestrained  publicity  and  the  very  terrorism  of  light,  are  the  ele- 
ments which  daily  increase  the  happiness  and  strength  of  the  United 
States. 

Who  would  believe  that  political  arithmetics  and  political  economy 
are  even  known  by  name  in  these  countries  ?  that  there  are  men, 
husbands,  and  fathers,  who,  having  the  whole  year  through  to  work 
like  slaves  for  the  bare  maintenance  of  their  families,  will  still  con- 
tribute to  the  upholding  of  such  fearful  institutions,  so  utterly  useless 
to  the  higher  interests  of  mankind  ?  This  goes  far  to  prove  the  truth 
of  what  has  been  said  above,  that  nations  (as  individuals  also)  never 
do  possess  more  liberty  than  they  deserve  to  have. 

Under  those  circumstances,  there  can  be  no  doubt  as  to  what 
reflections  a  visit  to  the  United  States  must  call  forth  in  the  minds  of 
travellers,  who  come  from  countries  where  a  constant  infringement 
of  the  natural  rights  of  man  has  undermined  the  political  as  well  as 
social  state  to  such  an  extent,  that  the  least  movement  towards  the 
indispensable  recovery  of  those  rights,  may  cause  a  general  breaking 
up  of  the  whole  system  \  from  countries  where  the  current  of  aris- 
tocratic oppression,  being  poured  continually  upon  the  hidden  fire 
of  the  democratic  elements,  must  daily  raise  the  steam  of  revolution 
higher,  so  that  it  will  soon  reach  that  point  of  condensation  where  it 
must  burst)  and  indiscriminately  destroy  all  obstacles  in  its  way. 
Can  there  be  any  doubt  what  the  feelings  of  such  a  traveller  must 
be,  when  he  finds  here  better  order  and  less  governing  than  at  home  ; 
when  he  enjoys  greater  liberty,  with  less  fear  of  insecurity,  than  he 
has  ever  dreamt  of;  when  he  sees  that  socialism,  communism,  and 
all  other  systems,  with  which  European  countries  are  teeming,  and 
which,  like  Saturn,  they  seem  to  create  but  to  devour  them  again, 
are,  in  consequence  of  that  general  liberty,  rendered  quite  harmless  ? 
No  one,  certainly,  of  true  manly  feelings,  can  remain  insensible  to 
so  great  and  manifold  blessings ;  no  one  will  pretend  to  seek  the 
cause  of  so  much  happiness,  in  a  mere  concurrence  of  lucky  acci- 
dents, or  in  a  freak  of  fate,  one  day  capriciously  crowning  demo- 
cracy with  the  laurels  borrowed  from  monarchy,  and  the  next  day 
tearing  away  the  borrowed  crown,  and  with  it,  all  hopes  of  final 
success.  No  !  Democracy  is  resting  on  more  solid  foundations 
than  the  mere  chances  of  fortune  ;  it  is  entitled  to  brighter  prospects 
for  its  future  existence.  Whoever  wants  to  become  thoroughly  con- 
vinced of  this,  has  but  to  consult  the  history  of  that  country  where 
democracy  has,  so  far,  celebrated   its  most  brilliant  triumphs ;  and 


xm 

may  learn  from  the  history  of  its  rise  and  progress  in  the  United 
States,  that  its  importance  will  keep  equal  pace  with  its  purity,  that 
its  destiny  will  soon  fill  the  history  of  the  world. 

Leaving  now  this  subject,  with  our  best  hopes  and  wishes  for  a 
healthy  and  continued  growth,  we  will  turn  our  attention  to  the 
studies  of  those  foreigners  who  may  wish  to  gain,  by  researches  into 
the  Historical  Literature  of  this  country,  a  knowledge  of  its  past,  and 
a  better  understanding  of  its  present  state.  As  few,  if  any,  will 
have  given  a  clearer  idea  of  the  difference  between  the  historical 
conceptions  of  this,  and  those  of  other  countries,  than  Mr.  Salma 
Hale  has  done,  in  an  address  he  delivered,  June  11th,  1828,  before 
the  Historical  Society  of  New  Hampshire  (see  the  Collections  of  this 
Society,  vol.  iii,  pp.  123 — 139),  the  following  quotation  from  it,  will 
find  here  its  proper  place : 

"  The  histories  of  other  countries  furnish  no  models  of  this  ;  they 
generally  contain  no  more  than  accounts  of  successive  kings,  of  for- 
tunate warriors,  and  of  distinguished  statesmen.  The  heroes  of  the 
piece  stand  forward  in  bold  relief,  forming  the  connecting  chain  of  all 
events,  securing  the  interest  of  the  reader,  and  relieving  the  writer, 
from  the  greater  labor  of  collecting,  arranging,  and  describing  those 
minor  but  important  events  and  circumstances,  which  disclose  the 
character  of  the  age,  and  show  the  progress  of  intellect.  Of  ancient 
history,  we  remember  little  but  the  names  of  kings,  consuls,  and 
emperors,  and  the  brilliant  deeds  they  performed  ;  and  in  more  recent 
times,  the  same  characters  are  again  brought  upon  the  scene,  arrest- 
ing our  attention,  dazzling  our  eyes  like  the  pageants  of  a  show,  and 
then  passing  off,  to  give  place  to  others.  But  a  new  and  different 
era  has  commenced.  The  foundations  of  society  have  been  broken 
up,  and  its  elements  have  been  arranged  and  combined  anew.  The 
whole  surface  has  been  brought  nearer  to  a  level.  The  ruler  and 
the  warrior  have  sunk  in  the  estimation  of  their  fellow-men  ;  and 
the  private  and  peaceful  individual  has  assumed  a  higher  and  more 
dignified  station.  A  field  has  been  opened  for  the  exertion  of  his 
talents,  and  their  influence  is  often  powerfully  and  extensively  felt. 
His  virtues  and  his  vices,  his  habits  and  his  wants  have  acquired  an 
importance  unknown  to  former  times,  and  force  themselves  upon  the 
attention  of  all  who  look  abroad  upon  the  world,  to  survey  its  aspect. 

"  America,  and  especially  our  own  country,  has  been  the  first  and 
principal  theatre  of  this  political  and  social  revolution,  and  a  corre- 
sponding change  in  the  duties  of  a  historian  has  become  necessary.

He  cannot  satisfy  himself,  and  still  less  can  he  satisfy  others  by  per- 
forming the  easy  task  of  reciting  the  actions  of  men  in  power,  and 
at  the  head  of  armies,  and  recording  those  events  which,  for  the  time, 
produce  astonishment  and  alarm.  He  must  bring  other,  and  far 
more  numerous  actors  upon  the  scene  ;  he  must  trace  events  to 
different  and  more  recondite  causes  j  he  must  sketch  the  character, 
not  of  eminent  individuals  only,  but  of  society  in  the  aggregate,  and 
of  the  age ;  he  must  describe  the  progress  of  intellect,  the  fluctua- 
tions of  opinion,  the  discoveries  of  science,  the  state  of  morality,  of 
religion,  and  of  the  laws.  He  must  gather  facts  which  the  mere 
annalist  disdains  to  record  ;  he  must  note  circumstances,  which  the 
superficial  observer  disregards ;  and  to  give  to  his  history  that  in- 
terest which  brilliant  incidents  lent  to  the  narratives  of  others,  he 
must  endure  the  more  painful  labor  of  making  a  proper  selection 
and  just  arrangement  of  his  multifarious  materials,  and  of  imparting 
to  his  style  that  purity,  precision  and  force,  which  is  indispensable  to 
compensate  the  sacrifice  of  the  attractive,  but  inappropriate  and 
cheaper  ornaments  of  pompous  diction  and  splendid  imagery. " 

We  see  here  the  adaptation  of  the  principles  of  democracy  to  the 
art  of  the  historian  ;  and  whoever  becomes  acquainted  with  Ameri- 
can historical  literature,  will  admit  that  its  prominent  features  are  no 
less  democratical  than  is  the  way  of  becoming  acquainted  with  it. 
This  may  probably  have  been  the  reason  why  the  historical  literature 
of  the  United  States  has  so  often  proved  inaccessible  to  many,  who 
gave  it  up,  whenever  ignorance,  dislike,  or  envy  would  answer  to 
their  pertinent,  but  certainly  misdirected  questions,  that  there  was  no 
such  literature  at  all  in  existence ;  an  assertion,  the  falsity  of  which 
the  following  repertory  will  show. 

The  United  States  have  a  Historical  literature  ;  but  in  order  to  be- 
come thoroughly  acquainted  with  it,  the  inquirer  must  not  confine 
his  researches  to  what  information  chance  may  offer,  but  trace  it 
back  to  its  sources.  In  doing  this,  however,  he  must  strictly  adhere 
to  the  observation  of  that  triad  of  fundamental  rules,  which,  not  un- 
like the  "tria  praecepta  juris"  of  the  institutions  of  Roman  law,  de- 
mocracy has  adopted  as  the  device  of  its  unparalleled  successes,  viz. : 
"Look  sharp,  help  yourself  and  go  ahead." — The  inquirer  has  first 
of  all  to  look  sharp,  in  order  to  find  the  extent  of  American  literature 
in  general ;  next  he  has  to  know  how  to  help  himself  in  taking  a 
survey  of  the  different  parts  of  this  dominion,  and  in  scanning  and 
sifting  whatever  may  be  of  use  to  him  in  his  pursuits.     In  this  he 


XV 


ought  not  to  rely  upon  others,  as  he  will  find  therein  neither  servants 
nor  even  helps,  but  must  act  and  look  out  for  everything  himself, 
and  if  he  wishes  to  succeed,  he  must  go  ahead  with  the  game 
unshaken  resolution,  as  a  settler  would  in  the  backwoods,  never 
to  i>e  discouraged  by  difficulties  or  impediments,  which  to  the 
true  scholar,  as  to  every  true-hearted  laborer  in  any  vocation 
whatever,  will  rather  prove  an  incentive  than  a  check  upon 
him.  And  what  are  difficulties  to  true  Americans  ?  There  was  a 
time  when  one  could  speak  of  inaccessible  rocks,  of  rapids  and  tor- 
rents, which  the  historian  had  to  surmount  and  to  cross,  where  he 
might  run  the  risk  of  finding  himself  unexpectedly  stopped  in  his 
advance,  like  the  bold  Emperor  Maximilian  in  his  adventurous  hunt- 
ing, by  an  insurmountable  Martinswand  of  daring  and  mysterious  in- 
terest, and  to  use  afterwards  the  reader's  charitable  faith  as  the 
grateful  ropes  and  ladders  upon  which  he  climbs  again  to  the  safer 
highway  of  every-day  possibility.  The  times,  however,  are  gone  by, 
when  the  monopoly  of  becoming  known  and  admired  was  granted 
only  to  imperial  and  lordly  adventurers  ;  and  nstead  of  the  said 
Maximilian,  calling  by  the  sounds  of  his  hunting  horn  not  only  his 
companions  to  the  rescue,  and  exciting  the  humble  astonishment  of  his 
faithful  subjects,  the  gallant  American  sailor,  the  undaunted  back- 
woodsman, if  equally  puzzled,  whistles  Yankee  Doodle,  and  knows 
how  to  help  himself,  unnoticed  indeed,  but  certainly  not  less 
courageous.  Democracy  knows  no  lasting  impediments ;  her  pro- 
gress is  not  stopped  by  precipices  or  breakers,  but  only  moderated  by 
a  lusty  undergrowth,  so  moderated,  as  never  to  become  exclusive, 
and  kept  in  such  a  spirit  that  even  the  advancing  pioneer  cannot 
leave  behind  him  the  common  interest  of  humanity.  To  show  and 
explain  this  movement,  the  incessant  advancing  of  mankind,  guided 
by  its  pioneers  to  a  daily  more  intimate  consonance  with  natural 
laws  and  natural  truth,  is  the  peaceful  task  of  the  historians  of  De- 
mocracy. 

In  the  deeper  studies  of  the  various  sciences,  bibliography,  the 
knowledge  of  their  respective  literature,  becomes  more  and  more  indis- 
pensable. "  Nosse  bonos  libros  magna  pars  esteruditionis,"  was  the 
symbol  of  one  of  the  Fathers  of  our  modern  literary  history  ;  "  livres 
nouveaulx,  livres  vieulx,"  is  the  motto  of  a  well  known  French 
bibliophile ;  and  Goethe,  with  his  usual  happy  tact,  makes  Mephisto- 
pheles,  in  his  Faust,  ask  the  question  : 

"  Wer  kann  was  Durames,  wer  was  Kluges  denken, 
Das  nicht  die  Vorwelt  schon  gedacht  ?" 


XVI 

That  is :  who  can  bring  forth  any  wise  or  silly  thought  that  past 
ages  had  not  had  before  him  ? 

It  is  therefore  not  only  desirable,  but  necessary,  to  be  capable  of 
judging  the  future  literary  productions  by  the  already  existing  ones ; 
and  in  consequence  of  the  rapid  increase  of  these  productions,  true 
bibliographical  knowledge  is  not  only  the  safest  insurance  against  lite- 
rary depredations  and  mystifications,  and  the  surest  test  of  originality, 
but  also  an  actual  savings  bank  for  time  and  money  in  literary 
pursuits.  Historical  sciences  especially,  being  founded  on  former 
records  only,  and  depending  principally  upon  a  thorough  and  critical 
use  and  knowledge  of  existing  sources,  stand  more  in  need  than 
others  of  the  aid  of  bibliography,  as  the  topographical  statistics  of 
literature. 

The  few  bibliographical  works  existing  concerning  America  are 
almost  exclusively  devoted  to  historical  literature,  in  which  of  course 
foreigners  had  always  a  very  great  share ;  but  even  those  are  gene- 
rally devoted  to  the  historical  literature  of  the  whole  American  Con- 
tinent, or  if,  like  the  works  of  Mr.  O.  Rich,  they  pay  particular  at- 
tention to  the  history  and  description  of  the  United  States,  yet  they 
are  too  inconplete  as  to  the  single  States  of  the  Union.  Still  there  is 
no  lack  of  local  histories,  especially  in  New  England,  whose  sons 
may  justly  be  called  a  "  documentary  people"  (see  the  able  article 
in  the  North  American  Review,  vol.  xlvi,  pp.  475 — 599).  There 
is  hardly  a  town  of  some  extent  in  New  England,  the  historical 
events  of  which  have  not  been  recorded  in  some  work,  particularly 
written  for  that  purpose,  or  in  centennial  sermons,  lectures  or  notices 
garnered  up  in  the  collections  of  their  historical  societies.  Nor  will 
it  appear  less  surprising  that  no  State  of  the  Union,  not  even  the 
youngest,  is  without  some  American  literary  production,  partially  or 
totally  devoted  to  its  geography  or  history.  Little,  however,  is  known 
abroad  of  this  part  of  literature,  and  often  not  much  more  is  known  of 
it  at  home,  a  fact  which  may  be  easily  accounted  for.  For,  when 
we  consider,  that  American  activity  has  found  full  employment  in 
developing  and  regulating  the  wealth  of  such  extensive  territories  ; 
when  we  see  how  gloriously  that  mission  has  been  fulfilled,  and  look 
at  the  flourishing  towns  and  cities,  and  at  the  constant  growth  of 
agriculture,  trade  and  commerce ;  when  we  perceive,  how  regions, 
which  twenty  years  ago  were  only  trodden  by  some  Indian  trader, 
or  some  hardy  pioneer  of  science,  are  now  already  encompassed 
within  the  limits  of  well  regulated  States  ;  when  our  admiration  is 
awakened  by  all  what  has  been  done  in  so  short  a  time  for  education, 


XV11 


and  for  divine  worship,  for  a  speedy  and  easy  intercourse  between 
the  different  States  by  a  vast  set  of  canals  and  railroads ;  when  we 
see  everywhere  libraries  and  literary  societies  multiplying,  and  the 
never  sleeping  public  press  untired  in  bringing  every  kind  of  ready 
information  to  the  humble  cottage  of  the  poorest  laborer  ;  when  we 
take  all  this  together,  we  can  only  be  astonished,  that  men,  who  did 
so  much  for  their  bodily  and  intellectual  welfare,  could  find 
sufficient  leisure  for  laying  such  an  ample  foundation  of  national 
literature,  by  far  the  smallest  part  of  which  the  following  repertory 
will  exhibit. 

A  protracted  visit  to  the  United  States,  made  for  the  purpose  of  becom- 
ing personally  acquainted  with  the  social  and  political  life  of  Ame- 
rica, a  lively  interest  in  the  history  and  the  institutions  of  this  genu- 
ine home  of  liberty,  fostered  for  many  years,  and  heightened  by 
gratitude,  which  every  German  must  feel  for  the  asylum  thousands 
of  his  compatriots  have  found  here,  against  oppression  at  home, 
joined  to  a  predilection  for  literary  and  especially  bibliographical 
studies,  induced  the  writer  of  the  present  pages  to  make  a  collection 
of  notices  of  American  literature,  a  part  of  which  digested  is  pub- 
lished in  the  following  catalogue.  This  catalogue,  a  literary  reposi- 
tory of  American  local  history  and  geography,  is  an  "  exclusively 
American"  one  ;  being  confined  to  books  either  published  by  Ameri- 
cans  at  home  or  abroad,  or  reprinted  in  the  United  States,  in  which 
case  foreign  publications  also  will  find  a  supplementary  notice,  but 
will  be  marked  by  asterisks  as  reprints.  The  American  writings  on 
religious,  educational  and  literary  institutions,  and  on  natural  history, 
the  State  papers  and  laws  of  the  different  States,  as  well  as  the  bio- 
graphical works,  proved  so  very  numerous,  that  it  was  necessary  to 
exclude  them  for  the  present,  lest  this  catalogue  should  increase  to 
too  great  a  size.  They  will  be  suitable  for  special  bibliographies,  a 
digest  of  which,  undertaken  by  men  of  more  profound  professional 
knowledge,  will  prove  as  interesting  as  useful,  showing  how  much 
American  literature  has  already  to  offer  in  those  branches.  For  the 
literature  containing  the  history  and  the  antiquities  of  the  various 
Indian  tribes,  though  for  the  most  part  less  important  than  abundant, 
and  collected  with  equal  industry  and  predilection,  we  also  could  not 
find  a  place  in  this  repository,  since  it  requires  an  analytical  cata- 
logue, which  no  one  could  presume  to  prepare  without  having 
studied  the  subject  more  thoroughly,  or  without  extensive  travels, 
which  would  have  been  indispensable,  in  order  to  become  personally 
acquainted  with  the  most  prominent  of  the  Indian  tribes.

Even  in  the  repository  which  is  presented  here  to  the  courteous 
reader,  it  seemed  more  becoming  to  abstain  from  criticisms, 
however  easy  these  might  appear  to  be  to  Europeans  who  are 
acquainted  with  the  requisites  and  better  models  of  historical  art. 
The  difference  between  the  history  of  a  democracy  and  that  of  other 
States,  as  exhibited  above  in  the  able  speech  of  Mr.  Hale,  is  so  great, 
that  only  a  residence  of  several  years  in  this  thoroughly  practical 
country,  could  enable  a  European  traveller,  who  has  generally 
nearly  as  much  to  forget  as  to  learn  in  the  United  States,  to  give  an 
impartial  judgment  on  this  matter. 

The  writer  has  therefore  thought  it  preferable,  and  upon  the  whole 
more  useful,  to  refer  the  reader  to  the  notices  and  criticisms  of  a 
great  part  of  the  productions  of  American  literature,  given  in  the 
well  known  and  excellent  North  American  Review. 

Although  this  repository,  like  all  other  bibliographical  compilations, 
past  and  present,  cannot  lay  claim  to  an  entire  completeness,  still  it  is 
hoped  that  no  standard  work,  which  lies  within  the  plan  the  writer 
had  proposed  to  himself,  will  be  found  wanting.  If,  however,  such  an 
omission  should  be  detected,  the  fault  can  certainly  not  be  said  to  arise 
from  any  want  of  conscientiousness,  and  is  entitled  to  greater  indul- 
gence than  it  would  be  in  similar  cases  in  Europe.  For  in  Europe 
the  gathering  of  accurate  bibliographical  notices  is  an  easy  and 
pleasant  task,  when  compared  with  the  trouble  and  difficulties  to  be 
encountered  in  the  same  pursuit  in  this  country  where  the  sources 
of  bibliographical  instruction,  as  far  as  they  exist,  are  scattered  here 
and  there  ;  where  the  collector,  as  previously  remarked,  must  be  con- 
stantly on  his  guard,  and  can  rely  only  on  himself  for  every  accu- 
rate notice  which  he  may  want ;  and  where,  besides,  the  attempt  to 
supply  these  notices  has  but  very  little  of  the  "  spiritual  pleasure  of 
a  trip  from  page  to  page,  from  book  to  book,"  but  requires  an  actual 
and  fatiguing  tour  in  search  of  literature.  It  requires  indeed  a  true 
;'  bibliophile  voyageur." 

The  differences  which  exist  between  several  parts  of  the  Union, 
and  which  have  been  described  so  often,  and  lately  so  well  by  Che- 
valier, give  also  a  different  and  local  tint  to  their  literature,  and  the 
individual  independence  of  democracy  imparts  throughout  to  the  lite- 
rary productions  an  individuality,  a  local  independence,  and  a  seclu- 
sion, which  is  greatly  enhanced  by  the  want  of  convenient  and  trust- 
worthy organs  for  the  forthcoming  literature,  and  by  the  compara- 
tively exorbitant  expenses  connected  with  the  conveyance  of  single 
books  from  the  more  distant  parts  of  the  interior  of   the  country. 


XIX 


The  same  local  coloring  is  to  be  met  with  in  the  libraries  and  in  the 
antiquarian  book-trade,  which  makes  it  a  mere  matter  of  chance 
whether  one  is  likely  in  the  Eastern  States  to  be  able  to  obtain  some 
Southern  or  Western  publication  or  not. 

Public  libraries,  when  not  restricted  to  particular  sciences,  can  no- 
where be  expected  to  be  very  complete  in  the  historical  part.  Still, 
a  highly  commendable  tendency  to  pay  particular  attention  to  the 
historical  literature  of  the  Union,  has  in  several  of  the  larger  libra- 
ries led  to  the  happiest  results.  The  libraries  of  the  existing  Histori- 
cal Societies,  and  especially  the  rich  collections  of  those  at  Worcester, 
Mass.,  at  Boston,  and  at  New  York,  were  more  confined  to  Ameri- 
can history.  With  regard  to  private  libraries  exclusively  devoted  to 
this  branch  of  literature,  particular  mention  is  due  to  the  very  exten- 
sive collection  of  the  gentleman  in  Washington  City,  to  whom  this 
repertory  has  been  gratefully  dedicated,  and  to  whose  kind  and  libe- 
ral promotion  of  all  historical  or  literary  researches  more  praise  is 
due  than  words  could  well  express. 

It  is  more  than  probable  that  an  accurate  comparison  would  lead 
to  the  result,  that  from  the  time  of  the  origin  of  this  republic,  more 
money  has  been  spent  in  the  United  States  for  the  formation  and 
supply  of  libraries,  than  in  any  other  country  in  the  world  ;  a  branch 
of  American  activity  and  generous  patriotism  but  little  known  abroad 
perhaps  because  even  native  Americans  will,  in  looking  at  these  li- 
braries in  the  spirit  of  impatient  emulation,  take  as  a  scale  the  more 
voluminous  but  also  far  older  libraries  of  Europe.  If  the  ever  ac- 
tive American  liberality  has  not  yet  been  directed  to  that  really  pa- 
triotic design  of  forming  as  complete  a  library  as  possible  of  writings 
concerning  the  history  of  the  whole  American  continent,  it  may  be 
hoped  that  the  daily  increasing  and  widely  spreading  feeling  of  the 
high  importance  of  this  object  may  soon  lead  to  the  conception  of 
such  a  plan. 

The  American  Continent,  certainly  not  destined  to  foster  the  pre- 
judices and  the  torpidity  which  generally  press  down,  or  paralyze  any 
further  elevation  of  the  nations  of  the  old  world,  has  in  the  history  of 
the  abortive  endeavors  of  Europe  to  impart  to  it  her  political  and  social 
miseries,  the  most  effective  preservative  against  enslaving  compliance 
and  degrading  want  of  self-respect. 

The  colonial  history  of  the  settlements  in  America  must  appear  to 
Americans  like  the  early  reminiscences  of  an  independent,  self-made 
man,  who,  having  once  been  an  unloved  step-child,  was  in  his  youth 
thrown  back  on  his  own  resources,  by  the  contempt  and  the  priva- 


XX 

tions  he  experienced,  and  finds  now,  upon  a  retrospect  of  his  past 
struggles,  the  best  encouragement  for  the  maintenance  of  his  indepen- 
dence, and  the  surest  guarantee  against  backslidings.  The  history  of 
their  own  country,  which  was  the  first  to  throw  off  the  yoke  of 
Europe,  must  fill  Americans  with  a  just  pride  and  a  high  sense  of 
the  real  vocation  of  the  western  hemisphere  ;  a  vocation  which  only 
can  be  fulfilled  by  following  strictly  the  policy  so  clearly  pointed  out 
by  the  best  and  greatest  of  the  Sons  of  America,  both  by  precept  and 
example, — the  policy  of  keeping  entirely  independent  of  European 
politics,  neither  interfering  with  their  affairs,  nor  allowing  them  to 
interfere  in  any  way  with  those  of  the  United  States. 

The  United  States,  being  the  first  of  the  republics  of  America,  must 
have  an  incontestible  interest  in  the  fate  of  a  continent,  over  which 
they  are  to  spread  the  blessings  of  liberty  ;  and  to  them  it  would  prove, 
therefore,  a  highly  creditable  and  patriotic  undertaking,  to  collect  in 
a  particular  library  all  the  notices  and  facts  recorded  in  the  histori- 
cal literature  of  this  continent.  They  should  not  allow  foreigners 
to  anticipate  them  in  such  an  undertaking,  which  will  prove  in  future 
times  of  still  higher  importance  as  well  as  interest,  than  at  present. 
The  old  objections,  that  there  was  no  taste  for  literary  pursuits  of 
that  kind  in  the  United  States,  that  hands  would  prove  a  better  sup- 
port of  true  democracy  than  papers,  and  that  facts  are  wanted,  not 
books,  are  now  antiquated,  and  can  no  longer  be  taken  as  the  true 
principle  of  a  nation  which  has  done  already  so  much  for  its  intel- 
lectual interests. 

The  spirit  of  genuine  national  and  political  economy,  assisted  by 
the  blessings  of  a  free  constitution,  has  long  shown  to  the  citizens  of 
the  United  States  what  position  is  due  to  material  as  well  as  to  in- 
tellectual productions  and  interests  ;  and  a  nation,  which  soon  became 
convinced  that  it  is  given  to  intellectual  poweraloneto  reconcile  the 
differences  which  in  Europe  have  become  so  threatening  under  a 
state  of  pauperism,  and  which  can  no  longer  be  peaceably  endured  by 
the  side  of  the  monopolies  of  the  higher  classes,  will  certainly  be  dis- 
posed to  extend  protection  to  every  scientific  undertaking  which  tends 
to  throw  a  greater  light  upon  the  history  of  their  happy  country,  and 
to  renew  the  memory  of  the  noble  deeds  of  their  forefathers. 

May  the  following  repertory,  as  far  as  possible,  facilitate  the 
foundation  of  such  an  American  Historical  Library  ;  and  may  it 
prove  useful  to  further  researches  into  the  history  of  a  country, 
which  every  one  must  love,  who  knows  how  to  understand  it  !
